Chapter 1634 - 1634: The Masked Elder Arrives (Third Watch)
"Mr. Ye, this is the Bai Family's place, how can we let you spend money?" Bai Yuanhang quickly said, "Patriarch Huangfu, Mr. Ye, the two of you can rest assured. Starting today, the living expenses for these three people will be completely covered by the Bai Family. Fifth Brother, whatever the cost, you go to the county to find me later. Remember, how much you spend is not important, the key is to take care of the elderly, understand?""Yes! Yes!" Old Five An nodded and humbly bent over, quickly turned around, and left the house to handle these matters.
Ye Qing didn't insist either. If the Bai Family was willing to take over this matter, that was naturally for the best. After all, this was the Bai Family's territory, so it was more convenient for them to take care of them.
After Lin Tianyou finished the examination, he wrote a list and handed it to Bai Yuanhang, asking Old Five An to follow the list to buy things to nourish the elderly. Although Lin Tianyou was not a nutritionist, he had substantial experience with these things, so it wasn't difficult at all.
Bai Yuanhang certainly did not dare delay and immediately handed the list to his subordinates to deal with the matter first. And Ye Qing and the others didn't linger here either, as they had to go to Medicine King Mountain tomorrow, so they naturally needed a good rest tonight.
Huangfu Ziyu left some food for the two children, and then she followed Ye Qing and the others back to the manor. However, after what happened, everyone's mood was somewhat heavy, so for a moment, they didn't discuss the previous topic anymore.
"Ye Qing, once things here are settled, can we move those two children and that old man to Shenchuan City?" After a moment of silence, Huangfu Ziyu suddenly asked.
Ye Qing actually had this plan in mind already. Sending these two children to the orphanage would surely be much better than staying here. As for the elderly, being able to recover and accompany the two children in the orphanage would be a good deed.
Ye Qing looked at Huangfu Ziyu and gently smiled, saying, "I'll listen to you."
Huangfu Ziyu's face flushed, as Ye Qing's words sounded like mutual trust between a couple, making her heart sweet.
"Going to the orphanage is a good idea. Ye Qing, I'll cover all expenses for these two children at the orphanage!" Lin Tianyou spoke up.
"Brother Lin, you have already donated a lot of money to the orphanage." Ye Qing smiled.
"That's different. I want to personally watch these kids grow up." Lin Tianyou smiled, "If possible, I even want to train them to become doctors!"
"I'm thinking of training them to become assassins!" Wolf Monk suddenly spoke up, his words immediately attracting all three people's gazes to him.
Ignoring their surprised looks, Wolf Monk quietly continued, "This way, they can personally kill their father!"
"Master, that kind of thinking is unacceptable!" Ye Qing shook his head, "No matter what, he is the father of the children; how can we let them kill him?"
"Yes, next time I meet him, I'll just kill him. These kids are so pure, they shouldn't be involved in such things!" Huangfu Ziyu followed up.
"Can we not kill?" Lin Tianyou softly asked nearby, "Everyone has the right to live; how can we treat life so casually?"
"Hmph, you people are too merciful!" Wolf Monk coldly responded, "In this world, survival of the fittest is the rule. If these kids really have ability, would they be in this situation? Hmph, I think training them to be assassins is most suitable. At least, in their lives, no one would be able to bully them!"
Wolf Monk's thoughts are indeed different from most people. This statement led to a heated debate among them. But Lin Tianyou really didn't have a say in this discussion, because Ye Qing, Huangfu Ziyu, and Wolf Monk all agreed that the girl's father should be killed. Only Lin Tianyou felt that life was important and shouldn't be taken lightly.
Ye Qing appreciated Lin Tianyou's compassion. However, admiration aside, having experienced mortal peril, Ye Qing understood the viciousness of the world. Therefore, his philosophy was never to give evil people any leeway and to completely eradicate them; otherwise, one day they would surely rebound against you!
Wolf Monk was even more extreme than Ye Qing; actually, his views were more similar to Bloody Monk. Both would not hesitate to kill a person when necessary. Of course, Wolf Monk only killed those who deserved to die, while Bloody Monk killed purely based on his whims. Therefore, relatively, Wolf Monk resembled that ancient type of righteous assassin, while Bloody Monk's nature remained ambiguous, difficult to distinguish between good and evil.
In the heat of their argument, Huangfu Ziyu's Sun Shooting Bow in her hand suddenly trembled slightly. Heart stirring, Huangfu Ziyu immediately stood, about to turn and look when the door was abruptly pushed open from outside.
Wolf Monk jumped up first, and Ye Qing's expression changed swiftly. Given his current strength, who could reach the door without him noticing? Not to mention his prowess, Wolf Monk was also a Peak Master, far stronger than him. Furthermore, Huangfu Ziyu's Sun Shooting Bow could sense energy fluctuations. But under these circumstances, someone reached the outside door without them realizing, showing how formidable the visitor's strength was.
As Ye Qing turned and saw the person entering through the door, he suddenly understood why none of the three of them felt the presence of someone approaching. Because at the doorway stood none other than the masked elder brought by Southern Fist King Shen Tianjun last time to help tackle Master Nai Kun.
The strength of this masked elder is on par with the Southern Fist King Shen Tianjun. With his ability, he can stand outside the door without anyone noticing.
"Senior, it's you!" Seeing the masked elder, Ye Qing was overjoyed. At this moment, the arrival of the masked elder made his heart more at ease. After all, the elder's strength is incredibly terrifying.
Neither Wolf Monk nor Huangfu Ziyu had seen this masked elder before, but seeing Ye Qing's expression toward him, they knew the elder was certainly not an enemy. The two of them also relaxed their guard, looking at the elder in surprise. They basically guessed that he could very likely be the elder who saved Shen Tianjun at that time.
The masked elder was just like before, not speaking at all. He sat down in the room and directly took out two red invitations from himself and handed them to Ye Qing. Ye Qing opened the invitation and, lo and behold, it was the Divine Doctor's Order!
"Divine Doctor's Order!?" Ye Qing exclaimed, not expecting the masked elder to carry two Divine Doctor's Orders.
It's important to know that Ye Qing was previously worried about this. They only had two Divine Doctor's Orders, and Shen Tianjun had to enter Medicine King Mountain. Figuring out how to use the Divine Doctor's Order was still a troublesome matter.
Now, with the masked elder sending two more Divine Doctor's Orders, things became easier. Shen Tianjun and Lin Tianyou each have one, allowing them to enter Medicine King Mountain. Ye Qing could also take one and enter Medicine King Mountain, and there'd still be one left. But who should the last one allow into Medicine King Mountain?
Ye Qing asked, "Senior, Uncle Shen must enter Medicine King Mountain. This Brother Lin, personally chosen by Bai Li Xi, also needs to enter Medicine King Mountain. With the two left, how would you arrange them?"
The masked elder pointed at Ye Qing, then at himself.
"You mean, you and I will also enter Medicine King Mountain?" Ye Qing asked.
The masked elder nodded, answering Ye Qing.
"That's fine!" Ye Qing nodded, as this arrangement wasn't much different from his own. After all, he, Lin Tianyou, and Shen Tianjun had all entered Medicine King Mountain, and now following a master like the masked elder into Medicine King Mountain adds to the safety.
With this matter arranged, the masked elder directly went to sit beside Shen Tianjun, closed his eyes, and relaxed. It seemed he planned to stay here tonight, waiting for tomorrow to enter Medicine King Mountain.
With the masked elder here, Ye Qing was much more at ease. They didn't stay up late, tidied up, and went to sleep in the rooms next to each other. Ye Qing initially wanted to stay in the room to look after Shen Tianjun with the masked elder, but was refused by the elder, so he went to the next room to sleep.
The masked elder saved Shen Tianjun once, so he certainly wouldn't harm Shen Tianjun. Besides, Shen Tianjun trusts the masked elder extremely, and Ye Qing believed he would certainly take good care of Shen Tianjun.
Within half an hour after lying down, Ye Qing faintly heard a vague cry coming from the village. He was a little surprised, jumped out of bed and ran outside.
"What's wrong?" Lin Tianyou on the nearby bed asked in surprise. They were sleeping in the same room because his strength wasn't sufficient and Ye Qing was afraid of any unexpected events happening at night, so he was protecting him.
Ye Qing listened for a while, then whispered, "I think I heard Xiao Hua'er crying?"
"Ah?" Lin Tianyou immediately jumped off the bed; now he was also worried about the two children.
"I don't know if it's them, I have to go and see!" Ye Qing was just at the door, yet to open it, when Huangfu Ziyu's voice came from outside: "Ye Qing, did you hear someone crying?"
"It seems like Xiao Hua'er is crying!" Ye Qing immediately opened the door and went out, with Huangfu Ziyu standing in front of it. As for Wolf Monk, he had already gone to the front gate.
Seeing the situation, Ye Qing and Huangfu Ziyu didn't hesitate and immediately followed him. The three heard the crying sound, so there could be no mistake.
"Wait for me!" Lin Tianyou followed closely behind, very concerned about what was happening over there, afraid of arriving late.
Just as the four reached the courtyard entrance, Bai Yuanhang and others were guarding the area. Before they could ask about what happened outside, Old Five An ran over from afar. Seeing Ye Qing and the four, Old Five An urgently said, "It's bad, Mr. Ye, something has happened!"
